I'm actually thinking about just forgetting a case all together and going with that Hori silicone cover. That's nice.

Looks like you played a unit that got raped by a couple hundred people that go in and out of Gamestop every day.

Yep. Have had my dryer sheets in for 2 days now and it's definitely helped.
But the 4 slots for games is pretty stupid. I'll be using it though because the little pouch on top can definitely hold one of the little games cases inside of it.

There's no way I'm dropping the amount to get one of these currently, but for future reference, how does it do with online features and does it have a Skype app right now? Online ,can you play Flash or anything like that to watch streams?

No, you need to factory reset the system to switch between PSN accounts. It does nothing to the memory card, so you can keep data from multiple accounts there.
Wow! I hope this becomes a trend for titles in the PS ecosystem

Just tried to preorder at Best Buy here in NC and was turned away. They have sold out of their preorder allotment evidently. Had to go to GameStop. On the plus side, GameStop told me I would be getting a free 4GB card with my WiFi Vita. That is a bonus.
I don't want to switch my psn account. Just for example say I have memory card that has escape plan (inside the system) and another has hot shots golf. I can just take out the one I am using now, insert the other and play the game that's on that card right?
Apparently Target is doing this as well

Yes, if the content was bought using the same PSN account, and that account is active on PS Vita. Only then it will work.
Put this together with what Amazon is doing in Europe (free 8GB card with Vita) and in vast majority of cases you can go without the need to buy a memory card. Damn, one less thing for people to complain about. Vita 1/2 DOA?
I figure there's probably concerns over trophies or just a virus infection, but I figure that at the least a core file (same as retail games that need memory cards currently have) could be standard across all titles and an app provided that lets you comb through said core file to remove saves would be enough for most people. Also an option to hide bubble of games not on the system currently because seriously, what the hell? I imagine the first one won't be easy to fix though, even if the other two are probably easy enough to address in an update.
Yeah, annoyingly enough this stuff usually has some logic to it and isn't just a careless oversight. Still, I'm hoping some of it was just "we thought consumers preferred this" only to be shown that, no, they really do not prefer stuff handled THIS way exactly. And part of why it usually flies on iOS anyway is because most of the really popular games are lightweight, arcade-y stuff anyway that don't take up much space and aren't as big of a tragedy to lose the file for like a massive RPG. But hell, there's enough of the latter on the market anyway, and it's still annoying to have restart something like Angry Birds just because you deleted the app one time.

you will want to turn the Vita off before switching the memory cards but yes you can.
Is your wife a cyborg? If so, let me know what model she is.
Just got everything set up and ready to go! About to fire up Some Hot Shots and lose my life for the weekend. The hardware is really solid and the OS is super surprisingly responsive and nice. Overall I'm quite impressed so far.
Only problem: I don't have any friends! This is my first Sony product that really uses PSN. So please GAF, add me in if you want to. User name is Debreck.
By the by, is there a thread for PSN usernames? Or does that Google doc still exist?

Quote the OP.
Some are already up. Unit 13, FIFA, Hustle Kings coming next week.
OK, I can confirm that Near will access the GPS for location data when 3G is off and wifi is not connected. Pulled up near when I got home tonight, it had an entry for 7:46 am when I was driving through the city on my way to work.
Pretty cool that it works exactly like I hoped it would, this was the main reason I wanted the 3G version.

Hori if you want to cover the entire face of the the Vita, Sony's if you want to cover just the screen. Sony's only selling theirs in a 2-pack, btw, so it's a bit more expensive.
I'm pretty sure the Wi-Fi version has a GPS device as well. Either that or it's scary accurate at picking up where I am through wi-fi.
Wiki page says it has none...I guess I should believe it. Still, it's way more accurate at determining my location than my iPhone is with GPS turned off.

Sony's protector also doesn't fit at the back by default, you need to trim it.
Why wouldn't it be accurate? It's pinging hotspot you are connected to.
Come back when you're more ready ! There are too many things to list and talk about in one post. ^_^
Skype app has been announced but not released yet.
Adobe has stopped Flash development for all mobile devices. So no Flash unless Sony made private arrangement with Adobe.
I'm not sure. I was reading on CAG and apparently the 4GB memory card is supposed to be free with the purchase. Not in the Starter Kit
I lol'd.
You probably got one of the good ones. =\

I just bought one of these Hori Silicone Gel covers off Ebay the other day. Love the feel of it. \
Also love that the PS button is covered so I won't be annoyed by that blue light constantly on.
And I'll love it even more when my Vita arrives!
*sadface*
That's the exact case I got! NICE. Now, I'm looking for a pouch. -__-''
According to the error codes here:
http://www.vitadevwiki.com/index.php?title=Error_Codes
Your connection timed out. Check Settings > System > Error code history, and your network settings to make sure basic network (to PSN) is ok.
I did a quick google, someone said they fixed their problems by rebooting their own router. No harm rebooting your Vita to see if it makes any difference too.

No joke: This is what I got in an email: " I apologize that your PlayStation®Vita case has a strange smell. I hope you can accept my deepest apologies for any frustration or inconvenience this has caused you. Unfortunately, since we do not sell the PS®Vita units directly to consumers, we cannot handle exchanges or returns directly. Please contact your retailer for an exchange or return." I got the same on the phone from a supervisor at customer service.
Since I already signed up for ATT on the Vita and attached a screen protector I would be out $35 at least, plus I would need to wait for the 22nd to get a new unit since the FEB ones are out of stock.

It's just pinging WiFi access point to try to get a fix on your location but it's much less accurate than GPS, and you need some sort of access point to find in order to grab that info. GPS is definitely not in the 3G version. Sounds like the first perk of having the 3G model is already out there though. Helps justify the theory on the purchase.
About half an inch. Depending on how picky you are, I stuck the entire sheet of protector to the back touch, took an estimate of how much I need to cut away, and snip the thing in 2 straight strokes using a big pair of scissors. Turned out well for me. Your mileage may vary. ^_^

The specialities are player traits. They are specific to an individual player(s).
E.g John Terry has the 'Aerial Threat' speciality. Anelka has the 'Poacher' speciality.
To see what speciality (if any) a player has, pick the player and cycle through the player's attributes.
And yeah, though I didn't mind responding, probably should pose the question(s) in a FIFA for PS Vita thread (is there one?).

I'm sorta picky because it's quite an investment, but are you also covering the "PS Logo/Serial Number" area that is right beneath the touch pad? Also, is the screen protector difficult to cut?
Thanks!
